Nature is the most beautiful gift in life. Everything that is related to nature is magical. A magical moonlit night, with cool breeze caressing and sweet fragrance of the flowers that blossom only at night, spreading in the air is a breathtaking experience. Nothing can be more beautiful, pleasing and comforting than that, after a tiring long day to soothe you. To watch a flower blooming at night enhances your joy and wonder.
You get such joy observing the Nishagandhi, the queen of night bloom at night, a variety of the night blooming flower. They bloom once a year by midnight and droops by dawn. A fascinating flower that is both puzzling and intriguing, a wonder of nature, that stems from the side of a leaf. It is stunning, inspiring and has an intoxicating fragrance, giving an insight that is profound. Sometimes you don't recognize the value of many simple but beautiful things in life. It may become valuable at some point of life and become hidden gems.
It is said that the Japanese call it, "Beauty under the moon," and according to the Chinese it is a fleeting impressive moment in someone's life, " A flash in the pan." A flower that rarely blossoms and only at night. It has only one night's life and withers away by sunrise, but still fills all around with joy at its breathtaking simple beauty, that talks volumes about nature with its secrets and surprises.
The blooming and drooping of this flower can be a metaphor of life. It is a symbolism of how life is short and to give the best of everything because it is not the length of life but the meaning that holds importance. How important it is to enjoy and savor the best moments with your loved ones because you tend to overlook them. It is really amazing how a flower could teach such beautiful and simple insights of life. A beautiful, yet short lived blossom that is a thought provoking reminder of life's vanity and glory. Man too passes through different phases and wanes off to the sunset years of life. The queen of the night, is at its full glory at midnight, delicately and intricately interwoven with its lovely fragrance, that sends a chain of thoughts in the mind about life. You feel touched by a flower, one that is short lived yet a magical wonder of nature.
"A midnight blooming flower, that blossoms once a year, drooping before the first rays of the sun, giving a feast to the eyes with its beauty and enticing the beholder beyond words with its fragrance, by the magical insight of life."
